Pursed lip breathing

Pursed lip breathing is a simple breathing technique that helps help in making deep breaths slower and more intentional. You can perform this technique by following the steps given below:

  1. First of all, sit on a chair or on the floor in a comfortable position.
  2. Then, keep your neck and shoulders relaxed.
  3. After this, inhale steadily for 2 seconds through nostrils, keeping mouth closed.
  4. Exhale gently and steadily through the mouth through pursed lips.
  5. If this process seems too long for you, the you can simply breathe out twice as long as you breathe in.
